About IAMAS
IAMAS’ roots are as an academic organization (formerly MIRCI), but our members are more than just scholars. We are scholar-activists from dozens of countries who want to help all mothers — physically, mentally, emotionally, and economically. We welcome members regardless of their field or experience, motherhood status, or gender preference. Our sister organizations include Demeter Press (Andrea O’Reilly), Akidemic Life (Kirsty Nash), and Academic Mamas Foundation (Cindy Harley).
